- LCSW
I'm a therapist with years of experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions and struggles. Throughout my career, I've worked with clients across the lifespan—from young adults navigating focus and purpose, to midlife transitions, to older adults facing aging and life changes.
I specialize in helping people work through anxiety, stress, self-esteem concerns, and the emotional toll of major life events. I'm particularly skilled at supporting those managing mood disorders, panic, social anxiety, and the unique challenges of caregiving. I also have deep experience with ADHD, compassion fatigue and women's issues.
My approach is grounded in compassion and genuine connection. I believe that healing happens when you feel truly heard and understood. I work collaboratively with each person to build coping skills, improve communication, and reconnect with a sense of purpose and self-love.
Whether you're facing workplace stress, relationship challenges, isolation, feeling unfocused or simply feeling lost, I'm here to help you find clarity and move forward with confidence and resilience.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
